① Target DNA is amplified by PCR with Biotin-labeled primer and single-stranded tagged primer.
② Those amplicons are mixed with Streptavidin coated blue latex and developed on PAS.
③ Colored PCR amplicons are trapped on a certain line by strong hybridization between tag sequence and complementary tag sequence.
④ The line with handling target DNA becomes the blue with trapping and accumulating colored PCR amplicon, and then target gene is detected visually.
- PAS is a membrane strip which is used in the STH method. Several kinds of complementary tag DNA are linearly printed on a membrane.
- Clear blue line appears when a target DNA exists in the sample to be examined.
- Available PAS is called C-PAS (C of C-PAS means Chromatography)
